Mobile and cloud computing have emerged as the new computing platforms and are converging into a powerful cloud-mobile computing platform. This article envisions a virtualized screen as a new dimension in such a platform to further optimize the overall computing experience for users. In a virtualized screen, screen rendering is done in the cloud, and delivered as images to the client for interactive display. This enables thin-client mobile devices to enjoy many computationally intensive and graphically rich services. Technical challenges are discussed and addressed. Two novel cloud-mobile applications, Cloud Browser and Cloud Phone, are presented to demonstrate the advantages of such a virtualized screen.

This special issue presents a concise reference of state-of-the-art efforts in the attempts for knowledge discovery in large-scale community-contributed multimedia, and in particular the opportunities and challenges in this nascent arena. The guest editors have selected five articles that represent ways to exploit the user-contributed photos and videos for several applications and that identify the theoretical challenges associated with managing such multimedia data.

Because multimedia is becoming ubiquitous, we will soon be able to count on access to any multimedia content, from anywhere in the world. This special issue of addresses the most recent developments in this area and looks at the current technologies enabling mobile and ubiquitous multimedia. In particular, this special issue presents articles that discuss novel and future-oriented research that focuses on the architectures, protocols, and algorithms developed to cope with mobility. The articles presented in this special issue cover not only novel application domains, but also a wide variety of methods, including case studies, field trials, and evaluations of new applications and services; research in novel mobile user interfaces; and research in design and use of intelligent, aware, proactive, and attentive environments.

The Semantic Web enables programs and agents to automatically understand what data is about, and therefore bridge the so-called semantic gap between the ways in which users request Web resources and the real needs of those users, ultimately improving the quality of Web information retrieval. This issue presents four expanded articles from The First International Workshop on the Many Faces of Multimedia Semantics.

The traditional publishing industry is seeing the first signs of its own doom while desperately hanging on to the last few dollars of profit from selling pulped forest trees. The demise of paper-based publishing is as certain and as inevitable as the end of the use of stone hieroglyphics. It's likely that Generation X will be the last to support the traditional print-publishing industry. The rationale for this prediction is simple: there is absolutely no reason for high school students to carry around pounds of books in their backpack when almost everything else is now paperless. In the following paragraphs, I will explain why the extinction of paper-based textbook publishing is inevitable and why the strategies of the publishing industry to maintain its grip should be viewed as last-gasp efforts.

This article reviews the early days of an Australian public broadcaster's open studio Web project. It raises important issues for software developers and Web media makers about the need for software and collaborative structures that can facilitate community building in an open and responsive way. This project could be of interest to software developers working in Drupal.
